ServerBots2

[PoW]

Ok, I have changed the original ini

[ServerBots2.Configs]
RandomPing=False
BotsReady=False
BotsTalk=True
StartGame=True
StartDelay=0
EntryTime=20
BotSkill=4

[ServerBots2.Bots]
MyBots=(UseBot=True,Name="ProFlex",Character="Harlequin",Voice="XGame.JuggMaleVoice",Ping=90)
MyBots=(UseBot=True,Name="KaraMBa",Character="Satin",Voice="XGame.JuggFemaleVoice",Ping=68)
MyBots=(UseBot=True,Name="*******",Character="Gorge",Voice="XGame.JuggMaleVoice",Ping=86)
MyBots=(UseBot=True,Name="WarLoxx",Character="Horus",Voice="XGame.JuggMaleVoice",Ping=122)


in


[ServerBots2.Configs]
RandomPing=False
BotsReady=False
BotsTalk=True
StartGame=True
StartDelay=0
EntryTime=20
BotSkill=4

[ServerBots2.Bots]
MyBots=(UseBot=True,Name="KaraMBa",Character="Satin",Voice="XGame.JuggMaleVoice",Ping=68)
MyBots=(UseBot=True,Name="WarLoxx",Character="Horus",Voice="XGame.JuggMaleVoice",Ping=70)
MyBots=(UseBot=False,Name="Vixen",Character="Satin",Voice="XGame.JuggFemaleVoice",Ping=80)
MyBots=(UseBot=False,Name="haSBeen",Character="Gorge",Voice="XGame.JuggMaleVoice",Ping=90)


The rest of the ini I leave at it was. I hope that this works and not that it makes probs during testing.


Anyway, no bot speaks Afrikaans.


Then I found out the following:

1. I set those 2 bots and entered the server. A short time later I decided to spectate. When I was spectator another bot entered the game named Othello (usual bot). Its ping was 0 but it spoke like KaramBa.

As I then entered the game from the spec mode the usual bot stayed further on the server but suddenly it had the name "Karag" also with Ping 0 and speaking like ServerBot.


2. The bots with botskill=4 are "faster" (as gamespeed 130) and stronger as in the previous version.

Pow, if you call a Bot, like:
hey Warloxx
Does he answer you ?

I set those 2 bots and entered the server. A short time later I decided to spectate. When I was spectator another bot entered the game named Othello (usual bot). Its ping was 0 but it spoke like KaramBa.

Yes and I'm not sure how to stop this because when you goto spectate while ingame, you are not actually a spectator and ServerBots keeps the MinPlayers=5 hence another Bot appears.
I'll see if I can fix this but I dont think so.

I have tested it again with the settings I described above.

Anyway, no bot speaks Afrikaans.

I do not know why but know it works.


Then I have given messages to KaramBa and WarLoxx million times and KaramBa answered randomly like the ini settings in English and WarLoxx answered in Afrikaans. So I think it works.

 

[ProAsm]

lol.. ok then I'll just hunt down that extra bot when you spectate and see if I can squash him somehow

 

[ProAsm]

Pow, please send me your ServerLog as I put a couple of debug loggings in this version and I need to reference them.

I am also removing the 2nd language option and am going to release this version as is, including bugs as UT2004 is not very "ServerBots friendly".

 

[PoW]

Server is crashing exactly after 3 maps if I install last version of ServerBots together with UT2Vote52B4. The mini server.log I send you, Ben by mail.

 

[ProAsm]

For anyone who's interested in ServerBots2, I have kinda released them on my site as I often get inquiries into this mod.
I realise its a bit buggy but lets see what happens.
I've been playing with this last version since the 21st Jan and it seems pretty stable except for the odd ballsup when a player comes from being a spectator but that not often

 

[frogger187]

latest working beta linkage?

 

[ProAsm]

My last version is on my site http://www.proasm.com/files/ServerBots2.zip
The source code has been given to 2 other coders who asked for it and they are making several improvements to it and although I asked to be kept informed with every release, I have not been notified to date, so maybe you are seeing these improvements.
These people are:
FlyBoy - Lawrence Wordsworth ( wordsworth@pc.dk )
Christopher Meadows ( clmeadows@mail.com )

 

[frogger187]

you have a changelog from 1.0 for your latest revision?

 

[ProAsm]

No, not really.
My 1.0 is basically a direct conversion from ServerBots21 for UT2003 except it also now incorporates EL Muertes Bullsh1t.
